What All Does A Bone Density Test Consist Of? Is It Only The Size And Strength Of The Bone Or Can Other Abnormalities Be Found?

Bone density test is usually done for diagnosis of diseases like osteoporosis. DEXA test is usually done for testing the density of bones. It is basically a scan that lasts for 10 minutes and exposes the patient to radiation. However, it is safe as the radiation is less that that of an x-ray.
